The Human Element in the Gospels - A Commentary on the Synoptic Narrative #229612

Those who read this book will not require from the Editor's Preface anything more than an account of the relation of the printed volume to the Author's manuscript.<br><br>In January 1905 the notes on the Synoptic Narrative which Dr Salmon had left were placed in my hands with a view to their publication if I should consider them to be in a sufficiently completed state. I found that there were two sets of note books, marked A and B respectively; the former consisting of thirteen volumes, the latter of seventeen, besides a book containing what I have here printed as the Author's Preface. A and B represent the first and second drafts of Dr Salmons notes; the second draft stops abruptly at a point noted on p. 510 of this volume.<br><br>On careful consideration, I came to the conclusion that the second draft was, on the whole, the worthier presentation of Dr Salmons views, although it appears from a note in one of the volumes that he was not altogether satisfied on this point himself.
